What are the limitations of the Prius when it comes to towing capacity?

Unlike larger hybrids o r SUVs, the Prius has a low towing capacity around 1,500 lbs for newer models. Discussing whether its suitable for towing small trailers, bikes, o r lightweight loads can help owners manage expectations.

The towing capacity of the Prius is quite limited, generally around 1,500 lbs for newer models.
This is sufficient for small trailers, bikes, o r lightweight loads, but the Prius is not designed for heavy-duty towing.
Towing heavier loads could strain the hybrid system and affect fuel economy significantly.
